Some scholars have differentiated phenomenology into seven types:{{sfn|Smith|2022|loc=§4}}
# '''Transcendental constitutive phenomenology'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> studies how objects are constituted in [[Transcendental idealism|transcendental consciousness]], setting aside questions of any relation to the natural world.
# '''Naturalistic constitutive phenomenology'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> studies how consciousness constitutes things in the world of nature, assuming with the natural attitude that consciousness is part of nature.
# '''Generative historicist phenomenology'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> studies how meaning—as found in human experience—is generated in historical processes of collective experience over time.
# '''Genetic phenomenology'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> (sometimes "'''phenomenology of genesis'''"<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA-->) studies the emergence of meanings of things within the stream of experience.
# '''Hermeneutic'''('''al''') '''phenomenology'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA-->{{sfn|Waelbers|2011|page=77}}{{sfn|Adams|2008}} studies [[Verstehen|interpretive]] structures of experience. This approach was introduced in [[Martin Heidegger]]'s [[Being and Time|early]] work.{{sfn|Tymieniecka|2014|page=246}}
# [[Existential phenomenology]] studies concrete human existence, including human experience of free choice and/or action in concrete situations.
# [[Realistic phenomenology|Realist(ic) phenomenology]] (sometimes "phenomenology of essences") studies the structure of consciousness and intentionality as "it occurs in a real world that is largely external to consciousness and not somehow brought into being by consciousness."{{sfn|Smith|2022}}

The contrast between "constitutive phenomenology" (sometimes "'''static'''/'''descriptive phenomenology'''"<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA-->) and "genetic phenomenology" is due to Husserl.{{sfn|Welton|2003|page=261}}

Modern scholarship also recognizes the existence of the following varieties:
# [[Kehre|Early-Heideggerian]] '''transcendental hermeneutic phenomenology'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA-->{{sfn|Wheeler|2020|loc=§3.1}}
# [[Herbert Marcuse]]'s '''dialectical phenomenology'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA-->{{sfn|Kellner|1984|page=57}}
# [[Maurice Merleau-Ponty]]'s '''embodied phenomenology'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA-->{{sfn|Jensen|Moran|2014|page=292}}{{sfn|Low|2013|page=21}}{{sfn|Reynolds|2004|page=192}}
# [[Michel Henry]]'s '''material phenomenology'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA-->{{sfn|Henry|2008}}
# [[J. L. Austin]]'s '''linguistic phenomenology'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA-->{{sfn|Berdini|2019}}
# [[Alva Noë]]'s '''analytic phenomenology'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA-->{{sfn|O'Regan|Myin|Noë|2004|pages= 103–14}}{{sfn|Huemer|2005}}
